Photograph of an exhibit, number 51, for the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, showing a painting depicting a city scene, [s.d.]. Trees crowd the right foreground of the painting with two tall homes standing in the hills among them. As the hills wind around the right side to the background on the left they are blanketed in grass and spotted by clusters of homes. At the foot of the hills lies a winding road with automobiles traveling either way along it. Some automobiles are parked on the beach to the left of the road where water washes up from the far left.
